Vaisala RVP900, User Manual, Page: 53 / 484

Utility Description
DspExport Exports RVP900 to another workstation over the network. This allows utilities on a
remote network to run locally, instead of exporting the utility display window over the
network.
Improves the performance of the utilities for network applications by letting them be run
on the workstation that is remote from the RVP900. The standard X-Window export is
supported, but requires more bandwidth.
Setup Interactive GUI for creating and editing RVP900 configuration files
